In a dramatic legal turn, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed US President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland. This ruling overturns a previous order that blocked the deployment, signalling a key victory for the administration amid escalating tensions over presidential authority. The decision comes after Judge Karin Immergut had issued a restraining order against the deployment of federal troops.

 

Trump's administration asserts that the decision underscores the president’s lawful use of power to protect federal properties during ongoing protests in Portland. Despite allegations that Trump exaggerates the gravity of unrest on social media, two judges appointed by Trump backed the appeal, while Judge Susan P. Graber, appointed by Bill Clinton, strongly dissented. Graber criticised the move as undermining state sovereignty and First Amendment rights.

 

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield has announced plans to petition for an en banc reThe hearing aims to overturn the decision before it leads to an actually illegal troop deployment. Meanwhile, a Ninth Circuit judge has also independently called for a potential rehearing.ing, with all arguments to be submitted by October 22. A Northern Command spokesperson confirms that while some National Guard members are present in Portland, they are not currently active.

 

Protests in Portland have persisted since June, originally sparked by immigration policies. Clashes have been reported, but local leaders dispute claims of severe violence. The controversy follows Trump’s recent suggestion to send the National Guard to other cities, including San Francisco, triggering outraged responses from city and state officials.

 

Experts say the appellate court's decision may exacerbate tensions between federal authority and states' rights. Critics argue that deploying the National Guard in such instances risks civil liberties and can strain military resources. Meanwhile, Trump continues to mention using the Insurrection Act, which would allow troop deployment within the country under specific circumstances.

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• The Ninth Circuit backs Trump's move to send the National Guard to Portland.
• Oregon officials plan to fight the ruling, claiming an overstep in authority.
• Protests continue, with Trump considering similar actions in other cities.

It is about time. Get those troops there to rescue the government workers and help the police maintain order while ICE gathers all those illegals and kicks them out of the country. These local courts and judges trying to stop the feds is getting ridiculous. They have no power to stop the feds.

Its the only way now  going forward in conflicting states & cities similar to Portland,ORE !  Sanctuary City  policy conflicts with Federal Immigration  Law made by Congress decades ago. ICE Enforcement officers & federal partners  are under attack by radical extremists & politicians rhetoric  who dog whistle them as Thugs & Fascist ,as a result  grassroots movements have formed watch groups who observe ICE & other federal enforcement  as they go on targeted operations sometimes resulting in violent resistance. 

 

ai overview:

"Sanctuary city policies create conflict with federal immigration law, primarily through limitations on local law enforcement's cooperation with federal authorities, such as not honoring detainers or prohibiting inquiries into immigration status. This clashes with federal laws like the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act"

 

 

The Governor doesn't want them. The Mayor doesn't want them. The people of Portland don't want them. It took a federal court order to get them there.

Why doesn't the Federal government listen to the people of Oregon?
We started with a government FOR the people. Now we have a President who sh!ts on them.

And who says the people want them? If they want them so badly then they should make them legal to be in the country. 

If Oregon wants them so badly then the US should cut off all funding for not following federal laws. That means all funding.
